Jim, I didn't think to take a good picture before I took it out, but here's a shot of the interior from when I bought it. Original placement was just below the center vent:

Good Pic; Currently my set up is ( top to bottom ) Vent, Air/Heat, Radio, *CD Holder*, Cubby. My thought is to dump the CD Holder and move the Air/ Heat into the old CD Holder Slot; then install a cup holder under the vent like yours.

I am not familiar with the mechanisms that hold the cup holders, air/heat, and CD holder. Can the air/heat be moved directly to the CD Holder slot with out further modification or use of additional parts ? And is the cup holder unit a direct fit into the old Air/Heat slot ?

I want to be know what I'm getting into before I commit. With limited experience small changes can be a challenge.....but I'm willing to try.

In the middle of this thread: relocating the climate control There is a post from clickman that says "...the only things required to mount the HVAC controls in the bottom position are two screws and the outside trim piece. "

I can include that trim piece if you need it. The car is covered and the cover has 1" thick ice at the moment. I'll get a look at the trim piece tomorrow, see how it all installs, and get some pictures.

Read it over; sounds like the trim pieces would be my issue.

Jim, It looks like without cutting stuff up, the climate control only fits in the upper most, or lower most slot. Here's what I'd like to do: For the $80 (unless you want to pay more) you get the cup holder, climate control trim piece, lower console cubby, and two OEM Porsche screws. "If you act now" I'll even throw in the plastic trim removal tool (a $.99 value) absolutely FREE! Hurry while supplies last.



I took enough pics for a lower console DIY, then realized it's all covered by the 100 or so "console delete" & "GT3 upgrade" threads. Here's the Pelican DIY: Pelican Technical Article: Boxster GT3 Center Console Uprade - 986 Boxster (1997-04) -
